Love it! The backlight during the cake cutting is the money shot. Visually it is perfect, I just wished you included some natural audio (vows, etc).

Thank you for sharing.

nice work Aaron,
the natural audio at the start was beautiful - perhaps it could have been cut and used in pieces during the clip as an option.

Hi Aaron.

Loved the video, looks really good. Wanted to ask you how you like the T2i for weddings? I got one 5D and will love to get the 7D but I think I short on $$$$ so I was looking at this T2i option. Any issues, pros, comments? it looks really nice on yout vid. how many T2i's did you used?

Thanks

Osmani

Hey Osmany,

Thanks for the nice comment. I love my T2i for weddings. I have one T2i, and shoot with an XH-A1 as well. The T2i is quite smaller than a 5D and 7D, but produces the same imagery. You don't have the in-between iso's with it, but since i don't own a 5D or 7D I don't miss that feature. I saw my overheating indicator come on yesterday halfway through an outdoor ceremony in 100 degree weather. But I let it run through the rest of the ceremony with no problems. If you decide to go with it I think you might like the 1.6 crop factor you get from the T2i, its great for getting in closer.

Personally I am going to wait until canon puts out it's 60D to buy another DSLR. From what little i've seen, if it has the flip out screen with full HD capability for a few hundred bucks more than the T2i I'm going to buy it.

Hope this helps your decision.
